Best Dad Ever Shaves Leg To Show Tween How It's Done

|

Well, we've found an obvious frontrunner for dad of the year.

Over the weekend, Redditor and single dad P-Rickles showed off his silky smooth leg in the photo below, explaining that he had shaved it after his 12-year-old daughter needed some pointers about shaving her own legs.

"She was a little worried about getting a cut/hurting herself and getting a scar, so I wanted her to see that she wasn't going to get hurt," he said.

The tutorial came at some cost. "Of course, I promptly cut myself, but the whole thing put her at ease, so it was worth it."

Everyone needs a dad like this.
